U.S. Army Soldiers from the 223rd Military Intelligence Battalion, California National Guard return home after over two months from Washington, D.C. where they were deployed prior to the presidential inauguration. The unit remained in place to protect and defend the lives, property and rights of all American. A C-130J aircraft assigned with the 146th Airlift Wing flew the Soldiers to Moffett Air National Guard Base, California, home of the 129th Rescue Wing on March 14, 2021. Brig. Gen.
